Broil

Setting Oven Controls

Use the broil function to cook meats that require direct

exposure to radiant heat for optimum browning results.

The Broil feature is factory preset to broil at 550°F. The

Broil function temperature may be set at any temperature

between 400°F (205°C) and 550°F (288°C).
Be aware that the suggested broil settings table (Fig. 2)

are recommendations only. Increase or decrease broiling

times, or move to a different rack position to suit for

doneness. If the food you are broiling is not listed in the

table, follow the instructions provided in your cookbook

and watch the item closely.

Example To set Broil with the default broil

oven temperature of 550°F:

1. Arrange the oven racks when cool. For optimum

browning results, preheat oven for 5 minutes before

adding food.

2. Position cookware in oven. Close the oven door.
3. Press Broil keypad.
4. Press START.
5. Broil on one side until food is browned; turn and broil

on other side.

6. When finished broiling press OFF.
To cancel Broil at anytime press OFF.

Should an oven fire occur, close the

oven door and turn the oven OFF. If the fire continues,

use a fire extinguisher. DO NOT put water or flour on the

fire. Flour may be explosive.

Always use pot holders or oven mitts

when using the oven. When cooking, the oven interior,

exterior, oven racks and cooktop will become very hot

which can cause burns

Important notes:

Always arrange oven racks when the oven is cool.
For best results when broiling, use a quality broil pan

along with a broil pan insert. A broil pan is designed to

drain the fat from the food, help avoid spatter and

reduce smoking.

When broiling, always pull the oven rack out to the stop

position before turning or removing food.

Cook Time or Delay Start will not operate with the Broil

function.

Cook times given are approximate and should be used only as a guide.

*Use the off-set rack only in rack position 6.
